Invalid kernel header included in userspace; multi-line string literals are deprecated

hi!

can somebody please tell me what's going on with this.
i have been changing my makefiles, in which i have
been going in circles now.


gcc -Wall -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE
-I/usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18//include -O -g
-DSNULL_DEBUG -I.. -M snull.c > .depend

You should have told us just what you are tying to do and how you are trying
to achive it, yes one can see you are compiling, but what commands did you do
beforehand, no way should you need to change Makefiles period, you may want
to edit the Top dir Makefile and add an EXTRAVERSION number tho'. which may
well save you a lot of problems if you succed in compiling and then the
kernel wont boot.
Anyway, your directory sructure is broken, as i see it you have a directory or
a symlink called /usr/src/inux-sh-2.4.18 you can have your source in any
directory you want, _however_ you are well advised to create a symlink called
linux pointing to where ever your source is, here is an example.

cd /usr/src
ls -al
linux -> linux-sh-2.4.18
linux-sh-2.4.18

All the errors are from 'depend' that means you possably have NOT configured
your kernel to start with.

For a quick HOWTO on making kernels goto;
http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/kernel.htm
Its old but is still valid for 2.4.x kernels.

Or read the README in the kernel source or read the Kernel-HOWTO found mostly
in /usr/share/doc/*
Or
http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO.html

Re: Invalid kernel header included in userspace; multi-line string literals are deprecated

hi!

thank you very much for your information.
and i'm so sorry for not stating everything that i was
doing.

anyway, i was trying to compile the snull sample that
i got from
http://www.oreilly.com.tw/editor_column/a138_read.html
on linux-sh-2.4.18. since i found some problem, i
modified the Rules.make (not exactly the Makefile as
previously mentioned).

the original errors were:
[aphrodite@aphrodite2 snull2]$ make clean;make
rm -f *.o *~ core .depend
gcc -Wall -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE

linux wass already linked as
linux -> linux-sh-2.4.18


and now, seeing on the
/usr/include/linux/autoconf.h:1:2: #error Invalid
kernel header included in userspace

in the /usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18/include/linux
i just put an empty autoconf.c

i am quite confused now since i think that i am just
going in circles with this compilation . . .



any kind of information are greatly appreciated.
(anyway, i will still also need to read the links that
were given)

You are indeed doing things _all_ wrong, firstly one needs a fully config=

kernel source, you do not need to fully compile a new kernel simply use y=

running kernels .config file, most distro's include a sample configuratio=
n=20
file for the running kernel, it can be found in /boot, it could also be=20
located in /usr/src/linux/configs/ (i have seen at lease one distro) that=
=20
does that.
Now _before doing anything do;

cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper

Now copy your sample config file to /usr/src/linux rename it .config and =
do=20
the following.

make oldconfig
make dep

change to the directory where you have the snull source, i had it in
/home/pa3gcu/source/ldd2-samples/snull/

Now type 'make' in that directory i needed to edit nothing, i did get 2=20
warnings but you can safely ignore then, snull.o gets created ok.

Thats it, no going around in circels at all, remember one thing, third pa=
rty=20
code most always depends on a _configured_ kernel source, if one has a=20
configured kernel source then files like autoconf.h and all the nessacary=

symlinks are in place and ready to go.

I compiled snull on a machine running 2.4.26 with gcc 3.3.4.
Considering snull was first written for 2.0.x kernels and has been change=

hi!

thank you very much :-)
the make mrproper; make oldconfig; and make dep were
all that was lacking . . . whew!!!

for my next steps though, where can i find some
information on snull_load and snull_unload?
running them gave me the following errors:

[aphrodite@aphrodite2 snull]$ snull_load
../snull.o: ELF file ./snull.o not for this
architecture

ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information.

No idea, but here is your answer(s).

You need to be root to insert modules.
As root do;
cd /to/where/snull_load/file/is
chmod a+x snull_load

../snull_load
But you will still get some errors because local0 and local1 are not know on
your system, either define them in /etc/hosts or edit snull_load and replace
local0 and local1 with an internal IP# as in.
ifconfig sn0 10.1.2.11
ifconfig sn1 10.1.2.12

They are not defined in /etc/hosts.

> snull: Operation not permitted

Because the ifconfig line had an invalid host nothing gets configured.

You can as root simply do;
cd /to/snull/dir
modprobe snull
ifconfig sn0 10.1.2.11 up
ifconfig sn1 10.1.2.12 up
route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 sn0
route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 sn1

You can also place the snull modules in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net
run depmod -a
place the following in /etc/modules.conf
alias sn0 snull
alias sn1 snull
Now if you use ifconfig to up the interface without loading the module first
then it should get loaded automaticly altho, i have not tryed it here because
i do not intend to use snX ifc's.

Re: Invalid kernel header included in userspace; multi-line string literals are deprecated

hi!

i do not want to be assuming now, since i only got
some errors from my assumptions. i have performed the
options mentioned below but got some errors.


what is sn0 and sn1?
can modprobe or insmod know that snull.o is snull? (or
am i getting the wrong idea here?)


planning to do the following:
> cd /to/snull/dir
> modprobe snull
> ifconfig sn0 10.1.2.11 up
> ifconfig sn1 10.1.2.12 up
> route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 sn0
> route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 sn1

and the result:
---> cd /lib/modules/2.4.18-sh/misc
ls
snull.o
modprobe snull
modprobe: Can't locate module snull

They are interface names, that and that only, compare them to ethernet
devices, they are called ethX.

Modprobe is the best to use as it is more intelligent, i suggest you read the
manual page for modprobe.
Basicly modprobe looks in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ for modules, now that
suggests there is somthing wrong with your system IF everything is like you
say below.

This can be cause by at least 3 main factors,
1) You have not run 'depmod -a'
2) Your kernel is not called 2.4.18-sh
3) Your not root.

You told me in a previous mail that you could load the module right.?
But now trying it in anther way it fails right.???

Here you need to do 'depmod -a' to update the modules database, if its not run
and you use modprobe you "should get a message" saying something like,
modules.conf is more recent than bla bla bla.

There should be nothing wrong with sn0 or sn1, you said the module compiled,
i suggest you do the following to see once again if all is well.

su -
enter passwd for root. (and press enter of course)
cd /path/to/ldd2-samples-1.0.1/snull
insmod snull
ifconfig sn0 10.11.21.111 up
ifconfig sn1 10.11.21.121 up

That works here and "should work there as well".

> am i doing something wrong in here?


With all due respect, it certainly looks like it.

Now a few questions here,
1) What is the output of the command uname -r
2) What do you whant to use snull for.?
3) What distro are you using.
4) Again with all due respect, if one needs so much basic help to get
something like this to work then surely one would not even know what to use
them for would one, now i hope i am wrong on that one.

The following is showing that you dont seem to understand what i am saying,

The above indicates that you are NOT root.

This almost certainly indicates that you are _NOT_ root.

Re: Invalid kernel header included in userspace; multi-line string literals are deprecated

hi!

thank you for the patience in explaining things.
there are some other things in linux that i still need
to understand.
and to answer the questions:
> 1) What is the output of the command uname -r
in my compilation machine, it is 2.4.21-4.EL.
- and i was cross-compiling with 2.4.18-SH.
the /linux was linked to 2.4.18-SH/linux.
- how do I set my environment such that uname -r
can get the 2.4.18-SH? i think depmod uses it right?
in the machine where i run modprobe but got the
unresolved linking errors (this is a separate
machine), it is 2.4.18-SH.
> 2) What do you whant to use snull for.?
- currently i am studying the socket_buffers and
ifc2 implementation and happen to see the snull
sample, and thought this would be a good example to
see how it runs/works.
> 3) What distro are you using.
- using 2.4.18-SH (redhat)
> 4) [aphrodite@aphrodite2] whoami will return root.
(though maybe i would admit that in the several
attempts that i have done, there might be a time
wherein i was not root). but i performed the suggested
operations (insuring that i was root) and still got
the same results.

and here are what i have just noticed lately:
in the machine where i run modprobe with unresolved
linking errors, there is no depmod command, so i
assume that i will run depmod where i compiled the
snull files, transfer the makefile.dep to the other
machine for modprobe to use. is this okey?


and just a minute ago (just came back to this task
today since last week); i renamed /lib to /lib.redhat
and am no longer able to perform any other command to
the machine where i compiled. i can't run mv anymore.
is there a way for me to be able to return /lib.redhat
to /lib?

thank you very for your help . . .

unresolved symbol __udivsi3_i4

hi!


Thank you very much for your help on
Subject: Invalid kernel header included in userspace;
multi-line string literals are deprecated :-)
I finally understood where I should be doing depmod
and what I need to do with its generated files.


There is one thing that is currently bugging me
though. Upon running modprobe, this is what I
currently got:
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-sh/kernel/drivers/net/snull.

modprobe: unresolved symbol __udivsi3_i4



The gcc version that is used is:
[aprhodite@aphrodite2 bin]$ sh-linux-gcc -v
Reading specs from
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/sh-linux/3.0.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr
--mandir=/usr/share/man --target=sh-linux
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --build=i
686-pc-linux-gnu --disable-c99 --disable-nls
--enable-languages=c,c++ --with-system-zlib
--with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/sh-
linux/include/g++-v3
--includedir=/usr/sh-linux/include
--enable-threads=posix --enable-long-long
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.0.3


Running nm -l-s snull.o
00000000 a *ABS*

U __udivsi3_i4
/home/aphrodite/snull/snull3/snull/snull.c:355



the block in snull.c that contains ine 355 is:
352 if (lockup && ((priv->stats.tx_packets +
1) % lockup) == 0) {
353 /* Simulate a dropped transmit
interrupt */
354 netif_stop_queue(dev);
355 PDEBUG("Simulate lockup at %ld, txp
%ld\n", jiffies,
356 (unsigned long)
priv->stats.tx_packets);
357 }
(which seems to be okey)


The only modification to the downloaded snull files is
on snull.c:
30 //#include /* kmalloc() */
31 #include /* kmalloc()
deprecated use slab.h instead*/


can anyone please tell me how to deal with this
unresolved symbol __udivsi3_i4?


thank you very much.

Then you are using a kernel named 2.4.21-4.EL

I doubt _very much_ that you were cross compiling,
Simply because the linux symlink points to another name other than the running
kernel does _not_ mean you are cross compiling.

WRONG, if you want uname-r to show 2.4.18-SH then you _must_ boot that kernel
then and only then will uname -r show 2.4.18-SH as that would then be the
running kernel.

Kernel modules compiled against 2.4.18-SH source will not normally be usable
with another kernel.

You can compile a kernel and its modules on one machine and transfer them to
another machine _only_ if the kernel is the same, if the kernel versions do
not match then modules will give unresolved symbols period.

Then compile modules on that machine and not on another using a different
kernel.

If you do not have the depmod command then you installation is !ucked up, it
cannot possably work properly without it, depmod normally resides in /sbin
Use the 'whereis' command to dind it.
whereis depmod
You run 'depmod -a' after;
1) Installing a new module
2) After editing /etc/modules.conf
3) Possably at startup (done automaticly).

No you _dont_ run depmod on another machine at all if the module(s) are to be
transfered to another machine.

No you dont even use makefile.dep at all.

You seem to be trying to run before you can walk, you say you are studing
socket_buffers and there workings which gives me the impression you know
about things, then again you !uck up your system by doing a chilish 'mv'
operation.
No unix system in the world will run without lib's, in its path enviroment.

You will quite possably need to use the install cd to boot your machine into
resuce mode or start an install to be able to access a console.

I dont know how redhat does it anymore as i do not have a running redhat
system here to try, The idea behind is to use a install boot meduim to be
able to 'mount' the damaged partition, once mounted you can simply 'mv' back
what you did wrong, then simply reboot start the system like you always do
and all should then be fine.
I can explane into more detail but as i said i do not have a redhat system
here so i may well get some or other redhat spesific then wrong and mislead
you, with slackware i would do;

Place the install cd in the drive and start the system, at the lilo boot
prompt i would smply hit enter to boot the default CD image.
Type root to start.
I now have a root console
mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /mnt
cd /mnt/
mv lib.redhat lib
reboot

Under redhat i would try the same.
boot, let redhat start its installer
When it has started hit CTRL-ALT-F1 or 2 or 3 or 4 etc, find a console with a
shell, there should be one where you can enter commands, now use my example
above to change the dir structure back to how it should be.

As i said, its redhat so your mileage may vary.
